Ang Ku Kueh

**Ang Ku Kueh**

*slang (noun)*

1. A term used to describe an individual who frequently tells lies or exaggerates the truth. The phrase originates from the traditional Chinese pastry "Ang Ku Kueh," which has a soft, convincing exterior but hides a filling inside, symbolising how a person may present a believable facade while hiding falsehoods or fabrications beneath the surface. This nickname is a playful jab at someone who is skilled at spinning stories that may not always be entirely truthful.

2. A lighthearted, sometimes mocking reference to someone whose words are often unreliable or deceptive.
*Example*: "I wouldn’t believe him, he’s such an Ang Ku Kueh—always making up stories!"
